Romans Week 9 - Assurance of Hope

This is a passage to read again and again and again! Because of Jesus Paul gives a sampling of the riches we can claim: peace with God, access into the remarkable state of Grace in which we firmly, safely, and securely stand, purpose in suffering, a God whose promises never disappoint, a Love so true poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. The most remarkable thing is that it was sinners that Christ died and secured these riches for. That is a Love beyond all love. There is so very much going wrong in this world and so much wrong in each of our hearts – in spite of it all we have perpetual cause for hope in God’s unfailing love and can enjoy our reconciliation with Him no matter where we are, who we are with or what’s gone wrong.
